Which smartphone apps do you use the most?

They all need to start supporting cycling/commuting.

Google constantly tells me it can't find a route by bicycle from Kempton to Sandton.

I suspect that is mostly a South African problem though.

I was in Boston a couple of months ago and bicycle directions are supported there. I think it's just by region.

In Boston there's explicit bike lanes, and when the bikes share space with cars, all parties actually tend to follow the rules, so cycling is quite safe.

Here in ZA, it's kind of "at your own risk" and Google might not want to accept liability for that. For cycling, I typically use walking directions, they mostly work.

Probably is region specific. I guess not too many of us in GP commute those kind of distances or through that traffic on a bicycle.

Too often Google has that option including going through parks and using footpaths that I'm not riding my roadbike on.

Also true. I tend to just work around those though.

Probably is region specific. I guess not too many of us in GP commute those kind of distances or through that traffic on a bicycle.

Bicycle directions don't work in WC (Cape Town) either. I don't know whether Google Maps has finer granularity than per-country?
